As with anything this far out of the ordinary, there will be plenty of skeptics around to point out the potential flaws. In the case of the LS12 many folks are finding it hard to believe that stressed parts like cams and cranks will actually hold up under a load. When we asked him about this, he laughed and said, “We have around 50 years of combined welding experience and some of the best equipment you can purchase. We do have a pretty good idea of what we’re doing.”

well sort of...

"As it turns out, Ray and his buddies have already made two complete and running LS12s; one for a P51 replica and one for a Chevy Suburban. They currently have enough parts put together to make about five complete LS12 long blocks. The one they are currently working on will be getting a 1471 Littlefield blower with a custom intake manifold, and might find its way into a long-nosed 240Z. A FAST EFI system tuned by Brian Macy at Horsepower Connection will handle the engine management of the 12-cylinder."

Selon moi le plus beau projet c'est leur LSX V16 de 1000hp fait avec l'Aide Katech, pour les non initier c'est les préparateur des moteur de corvette cr5 cr6 qui courent au mans

Il a été fait a partir de 2 LS6 pour seulement 695lbs! Et je sais pas pour vous mais le suburband V16 de 1000hp y m'allume en sale!! lol

One can still hope... I mean they did build a V16 for their Cadillac Sixteen proto & then dumped that into the Cadillac Cien proto... If GM wants to give a lil bit of a buff to the Caddy name, drop lame-ass pseudo sports car attempts a-la XLR & make something bespoke, like ford did for the GT... I mean V12 & V16s are part of GM heritage (1930s)...

Just sayin'
